I've been searching for a couple words
That could grow wings and fly like birds
And I know, of course, that it sounds absurd
But when you're in love, all the lines get blurred ...
Just imagine the world a little smaller tonight
And I hope this, I hope this gets to you
And I hope this, I hope this gets to you
... You think you feel my heart jumping through my chest
And when you look at me, it beats three times as fast
And all of this is passing us too quick for regrets
-"I Hope This Gets to You" by The Daylights
"It's amazing how close I have been, all this time, to my old life. And yet the distance that divides me from it is vast."
-from Pandemonium (Delirium Trilogy #2) by Lauren Oliver
"There are always choices. As long as we're still breathing, we can keep making choices and keep striving for our objectives. the choices aren't always ones we like, but I honestly believe that if we keep choosing, we can often get to where we need to be. If we stop choosing we have no chance. Accepting limitations isn't my first choice because it feels, to me, like it limits the options we can see."
-Melissa Marr
"I wonder if this is how people always get close: They heal each other's wounds; they repair the broken skin."
-from Pandemonium (Delirium Trilogy #2) by Lauren Oliver
"Whenever he came near, she could smell wildflowers, could hear the rustle of willow branches, as if she were sitting by a pond on one of those rare summer days: a taste of midsummer in the start of the frigid fall And she wanted to keep that taste, bask in it, roll in it until the warmth soaked into her very skin. It terrified her, the almost irresistible urge to get closer to him ... He terrified her."
-from Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely #1) by Melissa Marr
"Beauty wasn't in the order, but in unplanned harmony."
-from Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely #1) by Melissa Marr
"Maybe you should slow down, so I can catch you."
-from Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely #1) by Melissa Marr
"She'd been resisting the need to reach out to him since they first met. It wasn't logical but it was definitely there."
-from Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely #1) by Melissa Marr
"I give you my vow of honor ... And from this day forward, your wishes shall be my own as often as I am able."
-from Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely #1) by Melissa Marr
"To all the people who've been in the abyss and found (or are finding) a way to reach solid ground -- you're proof that the seemingly impossible can happen."
-Melissa Marr's dedication from Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely #2)
"The things you do when you're desperate aren't who you are."
-from Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely #2) by Melissa Marr
"Just be you -- strong and honest. The rest falls into place if you do that. It always has. It always will. Remember that. No matter what happens over centuries ahead of you, remember to be honest with yourself. And if you fail, forgive yourself. You'll make mistakes. The whole world is new."
-from Fragile Eternity (Wicked Lovely #3) by Melissa Marr
"Better to take a chance on forever than wonder 'what if' later."
-from Fragile Eternity (Wicked Lovely #3) by Melissa Marr
"Sometimes, things just need a little attention and time to grow."
-from Fragile Eternity (Wicked Lovely #3) by Melissa Marr
"To be remade means someone giving you of themselves."

"She spotted a lone dandelion, and it crossed her mind that a younger Luce would have pounced on it and then made a wish and blown. But this Luce's wishes felt too heavy for something so light."
-from Fallen (Fallen #1) by Lauren Kate
"People are here because they've got baggage. I'm talking curbside-check-in, pay-the-fine-'cause-it's-over-fifty-pounds kind of baggage. Got it?"
-from Fallen (Fallen #1) by Lauren Kate
"This was precisely the kind of circular argument she did not want to engage in. Luce didn't want to play any games. She just wanted to be with him. Only, she had no idea why. Or how to go about it. Or really, what being with him would even mean. All she knew was that, despite everything, he was the one she thought about. The one she cared about. She'd thought if she could track every time they'd connected ... she might be able to find some reason."
-from Fallen (Fallen #1) by Lauren Kate
"She would tell him that she wasn't going to let fear drive her away, not this time, not anymore. Because she knew something, understood something that had taken her far too long to piece together. Something wild and strange made their past experiences together both more and less believable ... She hadn't understood what it meant, what it all added up to -- the pull she felt toward time, her dreams -- until now."
